The Orion-Tr Smart 48/12-30A is an isolated DC-DC charger rated 360 W, taking a 48 V supply and charging a 12 V battery at up to 30 A. It is an adaptive 3-stage charger with built-in Bluetooth for monitoring and configuration. Input and output can have separate chassis grounds. Full rated output holds up to 40°C, and it is suitable for temperatures up to 55°C. It works with lead acid and lithium batteries, and several units can be paralleled to raise output.
Our take
This isolated Orion-Tr Smart gives the 48 V input and 12 V output separate chassis grounds, so the two systems need not share a ground path through the charger. Bluetooth handles monitoring and setup, and full output holds to 40°C.
From our buying guide
Each maker sets its own alternator rules. Battle Born calls a DC-to-DC charger a simple and safe way to use alternator charging.
Check before you buy:
- It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
- Battle Born warns that a BMS shutdown leaves the vessel without power, and that one during alternator charging can severely damage the alternator.
